Yet another ping problem

[Jeff Bilder]

I am running Mandrake 9.0 and I did the changes listed below and am still getting these results.

[nagios at netrix libexec]$ ./check_ping -H <ip_address>-w 3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1
yes
Error: Could not interpret output from ping command


Thanks!

That simple huh? Sheesh...is there a forest out there?

It's created other problems but I think it just because I've played
around with my config files so much.
Thanks a million!

    Do these commands as root:
     
       chown root /bin/ping
       chmod u+s /bin/ping
     
    then try again.

        Even if I run nagios as root the ping plugin isn't working.
